I think the algorithm needs some work. It could make sense mathematically, but it doesn't model things correctly. Take Virginia, for example: "Ranked No. 1 in the "Fastest-Growing Firms" indicator" and "Ranked No. 2 in the "High-Tech Jobs" indicator," and then "Ranked No. 47 in the "Entrepreneurial Activity" indicator" We have a lot of fast-growing firms, a lot of high tech jobs, but very few people are running startups here. But if you think about it, what is it that makes a startup hub? A university campus? A high tech sector? PG says a lot about this, I think the conclusion is that they exist where you make them exist.
